Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that Apple can no longer take a cut from purchases made outside apps and has blocked its restrictions on developers pointing customers to third-party payment options. This ruling comes as part of the ongoing Epic Games v. Apple case, where Epic accused Apple of monopolistic practices and anticompetitive behavior. The judge expressed dissatisfaction with Apple's compliance and referred the case for possible contempt charges, as Apple prepares to appeal the decision. The outcome could reshape app payment dynamics significantly.
"That [Apple] thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court's Injunction."
"Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court's Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers."
